Your volunteer commitment may be temporary, extending through the end of an exhibition, working a specific event or program, or you may make a long-term commitment to the museum. Volunteers making a long-term commitment are encouraged to become museum members and complete a minimum of 25 hours annually. As a result, volunteers are entitled to:

Regardless of the time and commitment you are able to provide, what you can give is honored and greatly appreciated. To begin the process of becoming a DAI volunteer, you must complete the Volunteer Application & Background Check Form.

NOTE: Submitting an application to The Dayton Art Institute tells us that you are interested in becoming a volunteer, it does not mean you are a volunteer. You must complete an interview and orientation before you are considered a volunteer. For additional information on becoming a Leonardo League volunteer, contact Monica Walker at mwalker@daytonart.org.

New! Volunteer Hub

Our new Volunteer Hub makes it easy to schedule your volunteer activities at The DAI! All volunteer scheduling is now done online, and volunteers may schedule their commitments months in advance. Once a volunteer is selected to work for The DAI, he or she will be provided with a username, password, and guide to the Volunteer Hub. A complete list of currently available volunteer opportunities may be found on the Hub.
